Deteriorata posted:It was apparently in the Dominican Republic. https://www.thedrive.com/news/31011/watch-a-racing-driver-survive-an-unbelievable-crash-that-split-honda-civic-apart Why am I not surprised From the way the car split in half so easily I'd guess it was one car hacked together with two wrecked cars. They probably learned how to do it from a Russian Youtube video.

I'm all electric for lawn equipment now (all Ryobi) and it's been great, so glad to be rid of the gas powered poo poo, and the electric stuff is just as powerful if not more powerful. My mower adjusts RPM's automatically based on load in thick grass where my gas mower would just bog down. The trimmer is ridiculous, I've had to start wearing pants because the flying debris was destroying my bare legs

I'm in Florida and own one pair of jeans that I wear a few times a year But yeah it's way too hot to wear jeans for yard work here, I have a pair of really light nylon cargo pants I wear for when i use the trimmer, everything else it's shorts. I do wear sneakers at least tho.

This is why you don't put additives in a transmission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rxU4bJPE-g

Elviscat posted:That video is fascinating. I've watched a bunch of videos on that guy's channel from beginning to end. Working on automatic transmissions really is voodoo to do it right, he gets so many that have been completely hosed up by other shops and he points out every way someone else screwed it up. Lots of shoddy work out there and "techs" that don't know what the gently caress they're doing and/or don't care.

Yeah guess it's not big deal on a car like that that's on it's way out anyway, might as well put some zipties on it (in this case additive) to get some more miles out of it before it goes to scrap. If you plan on keeping a car or truck tho, it looks like transmission additives are not the answer even as a temporary fix, it will just make the repair even more expensive.

Space Gopher posted:In the video, he mentions that there’s a right way to use seal-swelling additives: put them in, let them run for a few hundred miles, and then flush the fluid, to get the additive out. The seals swell and soften a bit but don’t get to the ridiculous extreme he’s showing off in that video. That's not what it says to do on the additive bottles tho does it? Who else is going to know that? Like I said if you have a vehicle you like and actually want to keep just get the drat thing fixed and don't use additives. I had to get rid of a Miata because the PO doused it with coolant stop leak a hundred loving times rather than just getting the drat leak fixed. poo poo was caked like sludge through the entire cooling system and was a loving mess.

That reminds me of the time I went to change the oil on our Lexus for the first time not realizing it holds 9 loving QUARTS of oil. The drain plug was on the side of the pan, so once the plug came out all the pressure of 9 FUCKIN QUARTS of oil sent a horizontal stream of oil shooting right over the drain pan and onto the driveway. And then also overflowed the container I had that already had 4 quarts in it. Went through a lot of kitty litter that day

Albeit, not in a defined way, aka no "Suez tariff", but a penny here and a nickel there... It's the same as the tariffs on Chinese electronic components. You don't know that you're paying it, but you are. Maybe but not to the point that I will ever notice, I just think it's funny how they use the word "us" in there like we're all somehow financially responsible

That's a common problem with transit vans apparently, rear end issues (heh). A buddy of mine had to have the entire rear axle replaced under warranty on his, but that was years ago. I figured Ford would have fixed it by now but guess not.

Ranzear posted:My dad has a least one scary story about a C-2 Greyhound on takeoff: There was six guys sitting in the cargo bay towards the tail behind half a ton of transmission or engine or something, because it was heavier and needed to be up front. During the catapult launch, the load broke lose, smashed those dudes, and pitched the aircraft into the water. Ugh that's horrible. No way I'd be sitting behind heavy cargo on a catapult launch tho gently caress that
